Founded In
Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
In short, The Walking Who is made up by three guys; Rohin Brown, Jay Bird and Paul Mclean
Last year saw The Walking Who leap into the foresight of the general public and music industry tastemakers alike. The release of their debut EP Mansions in September has led to many accolades, including snagging the spot as FBi Band of the Month, and support slots with The Growlers, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, The Delta Riggs, The Drones, Dappled Cities, Palms and Sticky Fingers.
With the imminent release of their next EP, the Sydney-based outfit are keeping the momentum going with live shows on the horizon alongside Dune Rats, Shining Bird and Wolf & Cub. The recording of the next EP was not without trials though, with the guys getting moved on from multiple, makeshift, backyard studios, due to the repetition of loud and obscure noises echoing through residential settlements (including the last incident with a brick through a host's glass window). After tracking they recruited their good pal Rudy from The Delta Riggs to mix the first single, “With Roses”.
The majority of the writing process took place in the idyllic setting of Byron Bay, which the band admit unexpectedly influenced their sound. Remnants of folk and country can be heard, mixed with equal parts positivity and darkness.
“As you can imagine, the EP took a different turn thematically to a darker place (after the brick situation) and the first taste of this is ‘With Roses’ - although this song seemed to cling to those initial feelings of optimism,” says The Walking Who.
“…walking a careful line between the sounds of Unknown Mortal Orchestra and Deerhunter."

"Their sound, and line-up is amoebic with the super talented three main members able to roll with whatever’s smoking."
